[MITgcm-devel] testing on stan1

[Martin Losch]

Hi,

I played a little with syntax. The problem is obviously that the OS on iblade (AIX) does not support “export” in a makefile in the same way as e.g. gnu-make.

SOMEVAR = ‘bla’ (or SOMEVAR =)
export SOMEVAR

does not work, and clearly just “export” does not work either (this caused the error my particular case), but 

export SOMEVAR:=‘bla’ (or export SOMEVAR := )

is not a problem. Can the code be rewritten into that format?

Or: Since iblade is an old machine which will probably go offline by the end of the year, I can try to make my script use some gnu-make.
What should we do?

Martin
